A STUDY ON EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT IN EUROTHERM INDIA PRIVATE LIMITED, PALLAVARAM

The study highlights important insights into employee engagement and organizational practices. The majority of respondents belong to the 26–30 years age group, indicating that young employees form a significant part of the workforce. Female employees slightly outnumber male employees, showing a balanced representation of gender in the organization. Most respondents are diploma holders, married, and belong to joint families, which reflects the social and educational background of the employees. In terms of income and experience, the majority earn between $20,001 and $30,000 and possess 2–3 years of work experience, indicating a workforce that is moderately experienced and in the early stages of career development. The findings also reveal mixed opinions regarding organizational leadership, communication, motivation, and employee engagement. A large number of respondents expressed neutral opinions about leadership effectiveness, job motivation, job satisfaction, emotional connection with the organization, and recommending the organization as a good workplace. Many employees stated that managers rarely encourage participation in decision-making, while only a limited number strongly agreed that communication and engagement positively influence productivity and performance. Recognition, training opportunities, and employee involvement were also found to be moderate, suggesting the need for improvement in organizational support systems.
